Would You Buy Ryan Braun-Endorsed Cleats?
Ah, America—land of second chances. Or, in Ryan Braun's case, third chances. Word is that an "upstart' baseball cleat manufacturer (3N2) has struck an endorsement deal with the disgraced Brewer. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the monetary value is far less than the cancelled deal Braun used to have with Nike. Said the company CEO, "We believe in Ryan. We've all made mistakes and we're all human beings. Our country is about second chances." Isn't that special? Braun was suspended by MLB for 65 games last year for violating its PED policy and "detrimental conduct" during the Biogenesis investigation. Thinking of buying some Braun-endorsed cleats? Our advice: Just Don't Do it!
